Monday Morning

Is it bad that I just want to lay on the couch and cuddle with the kids all day? 

I had a *horrible* weekend at work, and I’m really thinking I may just take today and recover. 

Friday, I went to the ER about my jaw/tooth/ear pain only to see the most inept doctor I’ve ever seen in my life.  He didn’t even look at my chart before he came in to see me, and proved this fact by being absolutely flabbergasted when I asked him if the meds he wanted to give me (Prednisone) was safe for pregnancy.  "Oh, you’re pregnant?!"  *eye roll*

For the record, the Prednisone wasn’t safe, and I’m glad I double checked with the pharmacist.  But, I am on antibiotics now, which is something.  I loathe the idea of taking them, but in this case, when I can’t take sinus medication to relieve my symptoms, it’s necessary.  Because I’ve apparently got sinusitis from HELL and it’s moved from my sinus cavities into my jaw and my ear.  And it feels like that side of my face is full of concrete.  Ouch.  I also bought a sinus rinse kit (similar to a neti pot) but I haven’t tried it out yet.  I’m going to wait until the kids are sleeping so I can concentrate and not accidentally drown myself.  Lol.

Also a good reason to take the abx: my blood pressure at the ER was 155/78.  NOT good.  Getting rid of the infection and pain should bring that back down to normal levels. 

I had to work a back-to-back open and close on the weekend, which is typical, but because of the pain I was in, it was like torture.  I’m looking forward to just resting a bit today, even though I should be cleaning the house. 

Right now, I need to go throw some diapers in the washer or Ben’ll be walking around naked…..
